Pros

Started off as a nice place to work, remote working, smart people and autonomy to own and execute in an interesting problem space. CEO was reasonable of early/mid stage startups.

Cons

Talented engineering and product team but an incompetent CPO. Possibly the worst leader I've worked with in any space. Lacked basic team building skills, poor communicator, sat on the fence on major decisions and constantly played politics behind the scenes. Overall the company and many of those that performed well within it operated along cult like parameters. Personalities could gain and then fall out of favour over short time periods.

Pros

Very easy to get hired. Some highly intelligent and personable colleagues. Interaction with some high-profile clients.

Cons

CEO openly and regularly shouts at, demeans, and lies to staff. Senior management only chases immediate rewards with no clear roadmap, resulting in frequent directional changes. Childish management team that has no prior managerial or commercial experience, or even domain expertise, as they were hired straight out of their irrelevant PhDs. Constant micromanagement, with the clique of middle managers taking all credit and no blame. Culture of cutting corners everywhere, resulting in everything from mis-hiring to unethical data practices. Long hours demanded for well-below industry average pay, all for no progression prospects.
